00 2004-05-20 Introduced in House 2004-06-08T14:37:39Z Access to Rural Physicians Improvement Act of 2004 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994 to extend to one year after enactment of this Act the deadline for seeking waivers of the two-year foreign residence requirement applicable to foreign medical graduates (FMGs) who entered the United States on J-1 (exchange visitor) visas and are seeking to change status.

Provides a special effective date for the extension provisions of this Act with respect to J visa holders by requiring such provisions to take effect as if enacted on May 31, 2004 (thus preventing the June 1, 2004 expiration of current waiver provisions).

Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt from the numerical limitation on H-1B (specialty occupation) visas those FMGs whose visa status is changed from J-1 to H-1B after obtaining a waiver of the two-year foreign residence requirement upon request by an interested State agency.

Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt Conrad State 30 physicians from the numerical limitation on H-1B visas.

Limits to primary care or specialty medicine the medical practice areas available to Conrad State 30 physicians.

Allows Conrad State 30 physicians to practice medicine outside geographic areas designated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the case of a waiver request from an interested State agency where the facility serves patients residing in such areas and granting the requested waiver would not cause the number of waivers for the State to exceed five in a fiscal year.
